ok...
a) it was halloween - kids wear costumes at that time - the school could have been more understanding and talked to the mother first, and let her know their policy and ask her to not let it happen again, instead of taking it out on the kid
b) it's sick to make a kid wear only his underwear all day and nothing else - it's wrong and he also could have become ill
c) in my school they had a lost property department and if you were wearing something inappropriate you would be told off and sent there to find something to serve as a substitute for that day
d) this experience may have traumatised the kid badly - the school and the teacher should know better and think of a more "positive" punishment - if it really is necessary.
e) the school was wrong and the mother should ask for a damn good explanation and apology. Even if she was supposed to know, to take it out on the kid in such a harsh and sick way is completely wrong.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
